273 Why Zephyr?

Adrianna slowed her pace as Zephyr approached her. "Sure," she replied. 

And so, he started walking with her and she could sense tension building up. Others, who were also walking to the potions class in the corridor, could feel how odd it was for the two of them to walk together.  

After walking for a few yards in an awkward silence, Zephyr sighed and chose to speak first in order to break the tension. 

"Adrianna," he started. "Professor Ziu will be out for a week and I will be your new professor for the spells. If you feel that you are not comfortable with me, I will recommend some other professor for you." 

Adrianna was shocked. With Professor Ziu out for a week, how will she learn the spells? She was very comfortable with him. She didn't want to stay near Zephyr, let alone learn the spells from him. Things weren't adding… why Zephyr? There were other professors who could teach her spells. What about Coral? Even she could have taught her.
